Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George (F Geo)
AR book level: 5.8
AR points: 6.0
This 1973 Newberry Medal Winner is a harrowing story about an eskimo girl lost and alone in the arctic wilderness. Her survival depends on her ability to "talk" to a pack of wolves that live nearby. There is also an element of mystery to the story, because the reader learns Julie ran away from home, but the book doesn't say why right away. A touching and exciting read, especially for animal lovers.
